Everything wooden in the garden is covered in a layer of ice which makes walking on the decking to feed the cats rather an adventure! Weather station shows 1oC now.
Been out in the car to see my Dad as his carers couldn't get there. Main road gritted but side roads terrible unless you have a 4x4. Still drifting and appears to still be snowing. Incredible sitting in my kitchen (which is upstairs) watching the wind blow the upwards off the trees outside the window and then swirl it around.
Just driven back from my friends house would usually walk across my field but snow and drifts too bad. No evidence of any gritting in Bacup. Lucky for me my car is so good in the snow!
Very heavy here now, blizzard conditions in the wind. Size of flakes have increased. Showers heading for us seem heavier and closer together and with the sun now going down this might get a chance to cover a little.
My garden and stables are only just back together after the last blow so I hope it doesn’t get any stronger than this. Intensity of light snow increasing.
Just started to rain here. Hopefully it will thaw the drifts blocking my garden so I can get back to normal and not risking life and limb every time I set foot outside. Love snow but hate drifts!!
